Bristol Township’s fight against blight continued recently.
Bristol Township Council voted last month to list eight homes throughout the municipality as blighted and begin the process of getting them rehabilitated or redeveloped.

The homes considered blighted are located at 615 Iva Lane in Fairless Hills, 11 Mintleaf Road in Levittown, 1206 Pacific Avenue in Bristol, 2417 Airacobra Street in Levittown, 3517 Rockview Drive in Bristol, 1557 Newport Road in Bristol, 1375 Minot Ave in Croydon, and 1109 Pennsylvania Avenue in Croydon.
Township officials said some of the properties are behind in taxes, some require the township to maintain their lawns, others are home to squatters, and a few are the site of frequent police calls.
The township has gone from more than 200 abandoned homes a few years back to about three dozen as of November.

Once properties are deemed blighted, the township works with the Redevelopment Authority of Bucks County to get them turned over and redeveloped.
